all_o of_o one_o sort_n in_o a_o pasture_n together_o as_o to_o have_v all_o ox_n or_o all_o horse_n in_o a_o pasture_n together_o nor_o yet_o sheep_n alone_o except_o they_o pasture_n on_o high_a

be_v great_o lay_v with_o cattle_n therefore_o you_o shall_v perceive_v that_o horse_n will_v agree_v well_o with_o other_o cattle_n in_o one_o pasture_n together_o for_o there_o be_v some_o grass_n that_o horse_n will_v eat_v and_o beast_n will_v not_o and_o light_o a_o horse_n will_v covet_v to_o feed_v after_o other_o cattle_n also_o a_o horse_n love_v to_o feed_v on_o low_a ground_n as_o plash_n and_o hollow_a place_n but_o horse_n and_o sheep_n will_v not_o so_o well_o agree_v together_o except_o it_o be_v for_o the_o sheep_n to_o feed_v on_o the_o upper_a ground_n for_o a_o sheep_n will_v feed_v on_o a_o bare_a passure_v &_o eat_v the_o sweet_a grass_n and_o so_o will_v a_o horse_n likewise_o but_o he_o must_v have_v it_o long_o yet_o as_o some_o do_v say_v a_o horse_n will_v eat_v as_o nigh_o the_o ground_n as_o a_o sheep_n but_o he_o can_v therewith_o fill_v his_o belly_n so_o soon_o to_o one_o hundred_o of_o cattle_n in_o a_o pasture_n you_o may_v have_v xx_o horse_n if_o it_o be_v a_o low_a ground_n but_o if_o there_o be_v plenty_n of_o grass_n than_o you_o may_v put_v therein_o a_o hundred_o sheep_n mo_z and_o so_o likewise_o to_o the_o rate_n of_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o pasture_n more_o or_o less_o in_o cattle_n and_o after_o this_o order_n you_o may_v eat_v your_o pasture_n even_o with_o cattle_n and_o leave_v but_o few_o tufte_n of_o grass_n uneaten_a also_o if_o it_o be_v a_o high_a ground_n you_o may_v then_o put_v in_o more_o sheep_n and_o less_o of_o other_o cattle_n for_o many_o kine_n and_o draught_n ox_n will_v eat_v a_o ground_n much_o bare_a than_o the_o fat_a ox_n or_o kine_n and_o you_o may_v also_o give_v a_o mylch_a cow_n as_o well_o to_o much_o meat_n as_o to_o little_a for_o to_o much_o meat_n will_v make_v she_o soon_o fat_a and_o then_o she_o will_v the_o rather_o take_v the_o bull_n and_o she_o be_v fat_a will_v give_v lesser_a milk_n than_o a_o leanner_n cow_n for_o the_o fatness_n stop_v the_o poares_z of_o the_o reins_n which_o shall_v convey_v the_o milk_n unto_o the_o udderne_a wherefore_o a_o mean_a pasture_n be_v always_o best_o to_o keep_v your_o mylch_a cow_n in_o and_o to_o have_v they_o in_o a_o good_a mean_a estate_n neither_o to_o fat_a nor_o to_o lean_a also_o if_o a_o cow_n be_v fat_a when_o she_o shall_v calf_n she_o be_v in_o more_o danger_n than_o be_v lean_a and_o the_o calf_n she_o be_v fat_a shall_v be_v the_o less_o of_o stature_n as_o for_o your_o draught_n ox_n you_o can_v give_v they_o to_o much_o meat_n except_o it_o be_v the_o after_o grass_n of_o a_o low_o mow_v meddowe_n for_o that_o will_v cause_v they_o to_o have_v the_o gyrrie_a and_o then_o he_o may_v not_o away_o so_o well_o with_o labour_n likewise_o if_o there_o be_v very_o much_o grass_n in_o a_o close_a the_o cattle_n will_v feed_v the_o worse_a thereof_o for_o better_a be_v a_o good_a sweet_a bit_n from_o the_o earth_n than_o a_o large_a and_o deep_a grass_n for_o where_o as_o it_o be_v long_o the_o beast_n will_v bite_v of_o the_o top_n thereof_o and_o no_o more_o for_o that_o be_v the_o sweet_a and_o the_o other_o grass_n shall_v remain_v still_o on_o the_o ground_n and_o so_o rot_v for_o no_o beast_n will_v eat_v thereof_o but_o horse_n only_o in_o winter_n for_o they_o will_v feed_v on_o foggy_a grass_n and_o such_o like_a also_o you_o shall_v understand_v that_o horse_n and_o cattle_n may_v not_o well_o be_v fodder_v in_o winter_n all_o together_o but_o put_v apart_o for_o the_o beast_n with_o their_o horn_n will_v gore_v both_o horse_n and_o sheep_n wherefore_o it_o be_v the_o more_o danger_n so_o to_o feed_v they_o together_o it_o be_v best_o therefore_o to_o make_v stand_v rack_n and_o cratche_n and_o to_o cast_v their_o meat_n therein_o which_o staff_n ought_v to_o be_v set_v somewhat_o nigh_o together_o for_o pull_v and_o spoil_v their_o fodder_n to_o much_o at_o once_o under_o their_o foot_n it_o be_v rather_o better_a to_o change_v their_o place_n every_o day_n where_o you_o feed_v they_o which_o shall_v make_v they_o to_o gather_v up_o more_o clean_a and_o not_o for_o to_o trample_v so_o much_o under_o their_o foot_n thus_o much_o as_o concern_v the_o pasture_v of_o cattle_n together_o in_o pasture_n and_o also_o the_o fother_n of_o they_o together_o in_o winter_n a_o very_a good_a order_n for_o the_o fat_a of_o ox_n in_o the_o

they_o will_v hardly_o fall_v to_o the_o eat_n of_o hay_n of_o a_o good_a while_n after_o but_o when_o you_o then_o take_v they_o up_o keep_v they_o so_o without_o meat_n and_o water_n one_o day_n and_o a_o night_n and_o so_o they_o will_v by_o extreme_a hunger_n forget_v the_o grass_n the_o rather_o and_o then_o at_o the_o first_o give_v they_o a_o little_a hay_n at_o once_o whereby_o they_o

a_o monstrous_a thing_n to_o see_v their_o moil_n to_o bear_v no_o more_o than_o the_o mare_n in_o this_o country_n the_o most_o fair_a and_o large_a cattle_n among_o all_o moil_n be_v those_o which_o
